What age did you allow boyfriend to sleep?

Just as above.

Thanks

I was allowed at 17

16/17. But mine was quite sensible and we talked about protection beforehand.

My ds is allowed at his gf now. They’re 17.

I was 17 and ended up pregnant.
dd is 19 and no boyfriend staying over.

Are we expected to allow this these days? DH wasn't allowed to sleep in my room at my DPs until after we'd moved in together

Not at this stage yet but I would say 16.

Somewhere in the 16-18 ballpark? Any younger and only on the sofa / in the spare room. Ds was 18 before he brought a girlfriend home, but by then he was living in halls, and they were visiting together, so I was fine with them sharing a room here. As were her parents when they visited them.

My conditions were over 16 and long term relationship. In fact DS was 18 by the time his GF stayed over.
Prior to that any gfs stayed in spare room.

I met my DH at 15, when I was 19 he was allowed to sleep on the couch.
Once we had been out separately and we both woke up in my bed (Still don't know who came to bed first or last and we are now in our 40's)
Bathroom was downstairs through the living/dining room and kitchen, both busting for the toilet, shittng ourselves in case my dad was disappointed and we were told off (mam had gone shopping)
2 bloody hours we waited up there....mam came back...I ran to her and explained how sorry we were, it won't happen again, it was an accident, we respect the rules blah, blah....
My mam bursts into laughter, tells us dad knows, they had both been waiting for the last year for us to ask permission for him to sleep in my room ☺ I never would of asked as I respected their rule and thought I was lucky he was allowed to sleep on the couch (on hearing this DH runs past me at lightening speed to go to the bathroom)
Nothing was ever said and we went on to buy a triple door wardrobe and double bed for my room, Then we moved out 4 years later 😅

It's not new. It's just different to your experience. Lots of parents allowed it when Mumsnetters were teens. It gets worse, lots of is moved out at 16/17

15

I don’t. Not need. They have homes to go to. They can stay until late and then go home.
